Summary

A cursed druid, blackmailed by a faery queen to find a missing magic rock. Let's just hope they don't hack the druid off...for everyone's sake.

Name's Colin McCool. Folks call me the Junkyard Druid. I hate that name.

Despite my last name, I'm not "cool" like the other hunters in town. I don't run an occult bookstore, I've never owned a Harley, and I didn't inherit a family fortune passed down through generations of hunters before me.

And I kind of have this curse on me that's messed up my life.

So, things have gone to hell since I was cursed. I live in a junkyard, my mentor Finn is a heroin addict, I've got the Cold Iron Circle breathing down my neck, and the local Fae Queen Maeve is blackmailing me into doing her dirty work.

Now I'm in way over my head trying to retrieve Maeve's stolen magic rock, all while helping my friend Belladonna solve a series of murders that may or may not involve the local werewolves.

And did I mention that my girlfriend is a ghost?

If I can just get the Faery Queen's tathlum back, and help Belladonna solve the murders...

Then I just might live long enough to finish my first year of college.

Ok Story

So, nothing in here is going to make you say, "this is my favourite book" but the story is ok, not great, but ok. There is nothing groundbreaking and could be one of a thousand other urban fantasy titles out there but isn't one of those that make you wish you had spent your money getting your nose hair waxed instead.

The narrator though is bad, not the worst, but is still in the top 5 worst you'll listen to. All the females sound the same and he has obviously never heard of researching a word he doesn't know, geas is pronounced GESH.
He seems to put the emphasis on words in the dialogue in the wrong places that changes the feel of the story, which can be quite offputting. It feels like he is doing this just to make ends meet and as soon as he is finished he is to the bar! He just doesn't give the MC any character, he is missing, as Simon Cowell would put it, the X factor.

Overall, the story just about nudges the bad narrating into a 3-star story. Had this have been read by someone of a higher calibre this would have been a solid 4-star, maybe a 4.5 if I were being generous.

Good story

The story is fast moving, lots of different ideas being aired. I enjoyed the narration. Lots of homour, action, and strong descriptions.
